Congrats on getting your kit through, Julien. 

 

Look forward to seeing your progress. Feel free to post any questions during your build.  

 

If you’re going for an ANH Trooper, maybe have a look into hand painting the tube stripes, traps and tears rather than stickers, if you wanted to. Just adds a little extra detail.

Who made the kit? I haven't see this one before.

You seem to be lacking the inside's for drop boxes or you have them stacked and we can't see. 

Congratulations and Good Luck!

Nothing better than a BBB with crispy white pieces inside, some valuable advise, measure twice and cut once and there are not silly questions, just silly mistakes from not asking them  

 

Good luck with the build

[Harbinger[IPM]]

Awesome, take it slow, measure twice cut once and enjoy!

Hey, congrats to your BBB day! 

I’m looking forward to see your build! Is it a TK UK kit?

And if you have any questions feel free to ask! We will help as much as possible!

Cheers Christian

i bought my armor  from RTA Stormtrooper Armor

i know it say here that its not a good supplier but when i talk to the guys from the 501st in Belgium they recommend to this supplier

that it now all checks out now

Looks like some very neat trimming there, Julien. 

 

Out of interest, are you planning on removing the return edge from all of the parts of your kit? Whilst it’s not a necessity to have the return edge, it can be nice to add the appearance of depth to certain parts. I’m not in any way saying you’re doing it wrong - just posing the question.

Hey you guys

 

Been busy with the costume, pictures will follow

 

But could use a little help, the white strip that you but on the legs, arms , etc... how wide are they?

im form eu so in cm pls

Hope that helps! Note that this is "standard sizing" so if you need to resize anything bigger, you will probably want to make your cover strips wider as well.
